A lithography stepper uses a projection optical system to transfer a patterned mask image onto a photosensitive wafer surface.
A stepper exposes the wafer field by field, using precise alignment between the mask pattern and the wafer before exposure.
A lithography stepper sits early in the wafer fabrication flow, after wafer preparation and photoresist coating, and before resist development and pattern transfer steps.
A lithography stepper defines circuit or device features that later etch, implant, or deposition steps reproduce or modify.
A lithography stepper is used to pattern semiconductor wafers for integrated circuit fabrication.
A lithography stepper is also used for other precision microfabrication tasks that require repeated projection of mask-defined features onto a coated substrate.
